Santa Ana man facing felony charges for breaking into two homes, assaulting a woman and exposing himself

Jorge Antonio Henriquez-Trigueros, a 42-year-old man with addresses in Anaheim and Santa Ana, allegedly broke into two homes in Costa Mesa early Sunday morning and assaulted one woman and exposed himself to others.

Henriquez-Trigueros is now facing felony charges of sexual assault and first-degree burglary.

Henriquez-Trigueros was arrested by Costa Mesa police on Sunday. He is being held at the O.C. Jail on $80,400 bail while awaiting a Feb. 23 arraignment hearing at the West Justice Center in Westminster.

The OCDA is alleging that the initial incident took place at around 3:15 a.m. on Sunday, when the suspect allegedly broke into two separate residences on the 500 block of Fairfax Drive in Costa Mesa.

One victim, a woman, was sexually assaulted, while Henriguez-Tigueros reportedly exposed himself to two other victims, according to the City News Service.

Henriguez-Tigueros was charged with felony counts of assault with the intent to commit a sexual offense, first-degree burglary, attempted burglary of an inhabited dwelling and two counts of indecent exposure, according to the L.A. Times.

Henriquez-Trigueros was previously arrested on misdemeanor charges, pertaining to petty theft, shoplifting and being in possession and/or under the influence of a controlled substance, due to incidents that took place between August and November of last year, according to court records.

Henriquez-Trigueros’s stepfather also obtained a restraining order against him in 2019 due to claims that he and his wife had been emotionally and physically abused. His stepfather also claimed that his stepson often acted erratically while under the influence of drugs. Henriquez-Trigueros was ordered to stay away from their shared home in Anaheim, as well as his workplace and vehicle.
